The battery recycling sector in Italy is gradually expanding, with companies such as Ecoeuro managing end-of-life vehicles. The technical challenge of manually dismantling batteries poses significant risks and costs.
Luxembourg's R3 Robotics has secured €20 million to automate the process, collaborating with brands including Hyundai and Jaguar to precisely extract rare components while minimizing waste. R3's CEO, Antoine Welter, emphasizes that automation can enhance safety and economic efficiency, projecting a one-third reduction in processing costs and a 75% increase in productivity. The future of electric vehicles hinges on effective recycling.
